Married by Mistake – Chapter 2321

After warning Madeline, Naya started to walk away without stopping. It was as if she was afraid that Madeline would see through her if she was any slower. However, Madeline already knew the truth. It was just that it was covered by a veil.

“Judging from her arrogant appearance, I think she’s quite sure that the thug who took the blame for her won’t expose her.” Ava walked over slowly.

Madeline then turned around and handed the phone to Ava. “Ava, you should call Dan first and ask where he is.”

“I don’t think that’s necessary anymore.” Ava sighed with a smile. “Naya’s appearance means that Dan won’t be able to meet me anymore. All of this is Naya’s fault.”

“If that’s the case, I think it’s necessary to find evidence of Naya’s crime as soon as possible.”

Madeline’s expression also became a little more serious. “The previous evidence couldn’t be established because the thug who took Chloe’s money suddenly pleaded guilty. It must mean that someone had talked to him.”

Ava seemed to have figured out something the second after she heard what Madeline said.

“Maddie, I see what you mean. You’re saying there’s still someone out there who can prove that Naya is the real perpetrator?”

“This person must exist, but we don’t know who it is yet.”

Madeline started contemplating for a short while. Then, she gave Ava comfort and encouragement.

“The person Naya wanted to harm was you, but Dan ended up facing the disaster for you. Ava, you and Dan are my good friends. Both of you were by my side when I was at my most helpless. You can rest assured, Ava. I’ll definitely not let Naya continue to go unpunished like this. Just leave this to Jeremy and me. I’ll definitely bring her to justice.”

Ava felt much more at ease after Madeline said that.

On the other hand, Neil was still waiting for Ava in the hospital. He thought he was able to see his precious daughter today, but Ava never showed up even after he waited for a long time. Finally, he received a message.

Ava was not coming. She informed him via a text message, which showed how much she did not want to talk to her biological father.

Neil felt lost and helpless, but more than anything else, he was remorseful.

If they had not failed as her parents back then, this would not be happening now. There was a reason for all of this.

Graham Manor.

Naya was sitting beside Daniel with a sad expression at this moment. Her charming face was full of endless desolation, and there were even hypocritical tears in the corners of her eyes. In addition to that, her tone was soft and weak.

“Dan, why did you go to meet another woman without telling me? We grew up as childhood sweethearts, and I’m your fiancée now. I love you so much. I really don’t want to see you get too close with other women, especially Ava. She has already harmed you enough.”

Daniel’s expression was calm, but his thick eyebrows were deeply furrowed.

“I don’t think she’s the kind of person you made her out to be. Plus, she asked me out just to take me to the doctor. She knows a neurologist who’s an authoritative figure in the field and can help me quickly recover my memory.”

“Don’t listen to her nonsense!” Daniel’s mother, who was on the other side, denied it coldly. “If such a doctor exists, do you think the Grahams wouldn’t know about them? They’re all lies that woman made up to deceive you! Dan, promise Naya you won’t go see that vixen again.”

The word ‘vixen’ sounded very unpleasant in Daniel’s ears. He did not reply to his mother directly. Instead, he just said he was not feeling well and went upstairs to his room.

Naya could tell that Daniel was protective of Ava, so she clenched her fists in dissatisfaction. She looked at Daniel’s mother with reluctance. “Mrs. Graham, I think you saw that too. Even though Dan has lost his memories, he seems to still have feelings for that woman. I think we only have one solution to get rid of all future problems.”

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2322

Daniel’s mother knew that something was up when she looked into Naya’s eyes.

“What do you have in mind?” Daniel’s mother asked curiously.

Naya averted her gaze and made sure that Daniel had gone upstairs. She then got close to Daniel’s mother and spoke in a low voice.

“Mrs. Graham, Dan thinks I‘m engaged to him now, so we’ll use this to our advantage and set a wedding date. As long as Dan and I are married, it’s useless even if Ava makes a fuss.”

After listening to Naya’s suggestion, Daniel’s mother seemed hesitant. She had her own plans in mind. The reason she agreed to let Daniel date Ava back then was because she knew that Ava’s mother was the richest person in F Country. It was certainly a good thing to have a wealthy in-law. However, Daniel had gotten into a car accident, and with Old Master Graham’s nagging, Daniel’s mother had started to blame Ava again. In contrast, she felt that Naya was more suitable for Daniel. At least, relatively speaking, Naya was more obedient to her words.

Upon thinking of this, Daniel’s mother decided that she should stop hesitating.

When Naya saw that Daniel’s mother was still thinking about it, she started to win her over by saying, “Mrs. Graham, I know it hasn’t been easy for you to raise Dan for so many years. Dan is so excellent because of your hard work over the years. I’ve already thought about it. When our wedding date is set, I’ll ask my daddy to privately transfer one million to you as a way of thanking you for your hard work in raising Dan for so many years. ”

Daniel’s mother was still a little hesitant at first, but when Naya said this, her eyes suddenly lit up.

“Naya, you’re really sensible. I’ll be much more at ease in the future with such a considerate daughter-in-law.”

Daniel’s mother agreed immediately. “By the way, when do you want the wedding date to be?”

“The sooner the better.” Naya did not want to wait another moment. “Let’s set it for next Sunday. What do you think, Mrs. Graham?”

Daniel’s mother agreed, “Okay. The date you suggested is good. Naya, don’t call me ‘Mrs. Graham’ anymore, just call me ‘Mom’ like Dan.”

When Naya heard what Daniel’s mother said, she was instantly elated. Sure enough, Daniel’s mother was still so easy to bribe.

When the wedding date was officially set, she would find another excuse to con Daniel’s mother. That way, the one million dollars would never reach the hands of Daniel’s mother.

Naya already had her plan and was just waiting now. In the evening, Daniel came downstairs for dinner. When the family was sitting at the dining table for dinner, Daniel’s mother pretended to inadvertently mention the wedding. In reality, she was doing that on purpose.

“Dan, during this period, you should take good care of your body at home. Don’t go anywhere. Your wedding with Naya is coming soon, so make sure nothing goes wrong.”

Daniel stopped eating immediately. “Wedding?”

“Yeah, you’re getting married to Naya next Sunday,” Daniel’s mother affirmed. “You lost your memory, so you don’t remember anything. You even forgot such an important day, but don’t worry. I’ll take care of everything for you, so you can just happily marry Naya when the time comes.”

After hearing what his mother said, Daniel frowned and fell into deep thought.

On the other hand, Naya purposely smiled shyly to make herself look very gentle and abashed. She was thrilled because she knew her position as Dan’s wife was in the bag now.

After they got married, she would be pregnant with Daniel’s children. Even if Daniel remembered everything in the future, what could he do then?

She wanted to see how Ava would snatch away her man when that time came!

The night enveloped the apartment in the city that was filled with lights.

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2323

In the room, Raegan and Neil sat facing each other. They stared at the food on the table, but they did not start eating even after a long time.

“Ava must have heard everything we said here that day.” Raegan broke the silence.

Neil sighed lightly. “I think so too. Ava already knew that I was her biological father at the time. She didn’t say anything because she probably didn’t know how to face me.”

As he spoke, Neil met Raegan‘s gaze guiltily.

“Your relationship with Ava had turned for the better, but my appearance has made your relationship stiff again. I really don’t know what to do to ease the current situation…”

“Don’t blame yourself too much.” Raegan comforted him. “Ava is hard on the outside but soft on the inside. In fact, that child has a very kind heart. She usually looks like she’s carefree, but she’s extraordinarily attentive and gentle.” Raegan said with a tinge of pride on her face.

“I’m really honored to have such a sensible, kind, hard-working, and motivated daughter. It’s a pity that we weren’t the ones who raised her. She gradually became the person she is now by relying on herself.”

When they were speaking about this, Raegan’s eyes became slightly wet.

Neil stood up, took a tissue, and handed it to Raegan. He stretched out his hand and patted Raegan’s shoulder lightly to comfort her. “Don’t be sad. I believe that one day, Ava will be willing to call us her mom and dad again from her heart.”

“I hope so.” Raegan was longing for that day. As soon as she said that, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Raegan did not know who was at the door. She got up and walked over to open it. When the door opened, she saw that it was Ava.

Neil, like Raegan, froze in disbelief.

Ava noticed the reactions of the two people in front of her but remained calm.

“Can I come in?”

Raegan and Neil hurried back to their senses. “Of course!”

“Ava, come in…”

Raegan and Neil were both very enthusiastic. Ava could feel the love from her biological parents but had a strange feeling in her heart. She could not put a finger on this feeling. She also did not know whether she was happy or unhappy.

“Ava, this is your home to begin with, so you can come whenever you want. The passcode for the door is your birthday. Whenever you’re free, you can save your fingerprint so it’ ll be more convenient for you to come over next time.”

Raegan kept talking to Ava with a bright smile on her face.

“Ava, have you eaten yet? I just made dinner, and you came just in time. The food is still warm.”

Ava looked at the dining room and nodded. “Okay, I’m a little hungry. Let’s sit down to eat and talk.”

They did not think that Ava would agree to have dinner together with them so readily. Hence, Raegan and Neil were both overjoyed. They were pouring drinks for Ava and serving her all kinds of food. Ava did not refuse any of it.

Seeing that Ava was accepting their kindness, Raegan and Neil breathed a sigh of relief. The two were thinking about a topic to talk about when they heard Ava speak.

“The reason why I came here today is that I’m taking my friend’s advice,” Ava said as she put down her fork gently. “I think I should give you a chance to explain yourselves. I want to know why you abandoned me back then.”

]]>

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2324

Ava suddenly went straight to the topic. Raegan and Neil were frozen for a moment. After the two exchanged glances, they both lowered their eyes silently. They seemed to blame themselves and feel regretful over it, but at the same time, they did not know how to start explaining.

Their reactions made Ava even more puzzled. “I’ve been alone for so many years. Every time I saw other students being picked up by their parents when I went to school and came back, it puzzled me why my parents abandoned me.”

What Ava said made Raegan and Neil contemplate even more. They then fell into deeper remorse.

“Over the years, I really hated you two and never had the thought of reconciling with you. Why did you abandon me when you wanted to and then acknowledge me again when you felt like it? I feel like a toy that comes and goes as you please.”

“No, Ava. How could that be? How can you be a toy? You’re the apple of your father’s and my eyes,” Raegan hurriedly explained. That strong woman who was always so calm on the outside was at a loss right now when she was being questioned by Ava. Even her explanation sounded incoherent.

“Then why did you both leave me on the same day?” Ava found it incomprehensible, and this question had been sitting in her heart for more than ten years.

“I’ve persuaded myself to calm down and listen to your explanations, so why are you still hesitating? There’s no explanation at all, right? The fact is that you felt that my existence hindered your lives and you would have better opportunities after leaving me. One of you became the richest woman in a country while the other became an expert in a medical field. After abandoning me, both of you became amazing people, right?”

After saying these words, Ava started to become emotional. She felt more and more like a joke as she recalled the years she spent living like an orphan. She would never forget that she was a child abandoned by her parents on the streets.

Raegan and Neil felt as if their hearts had been struck hard when they saw that Ava had misunderstood them. Their eyes turned red, and Raegan could not hold back her tears anymore.

She hurriedly walked to Ava’s side. She wanted to hold Ava’s hand to comfort her, but Ava avoided her. Then, Ava chuckled coldly with red eyes.

“I was so naive. Why should a child who was abandoned by her parents have any kind of fantasies? Why should I expect you to tell me that you had your reasons for abandoning me back then?”

“Ava, it’s not what you think,” Neil quickly explained as well. His heart was hurting, and he felt helpless.

Ava took a deep breath and asked after calming herself, “Alright. Let me ask you a question, then. Did you purposely abandon me on the streets back then? Did you purposely lie to me telling me that you’d buy me something tasty so you could leave me all alone?”

Raegan and Neil were silent as they faced Ava’s questioning. However, less than two seconds later, Neil came back to his senses and explained, “Ava, it’s not what you think…”

“Your silence just now is the best answer,” Ava interrupted Neil, a bitter smile appearing on the corners of her lips. “It seems that I shouldn’t have made this trip.”

After she said this, Ava walked to the door.

“Ava!”

“Ava, Ava!”

Neil and Raegan called out to Ava to try to make her stay, but Ava stormed out of the door. Her determination to leave was too strong. Raegan felt extremely remorseful as she started bawling. Neil went over to hold Raegan’s shoulders and pull her into his arms.

“One day, our daughter will forgive you.”

“No, she won’t…” Raegan did not agree, falling into deep remorse and unease. “I did purposely leave her alone on the streets. I watched her small figure on the street, and she looked so lost when she was looking for me. I watched her look for her parents and just left without turning back…”

When she recalled what had happened back then, Raegan’s heart was as painful as if it had been stabbed by countless needles.

“There’s nothing to explain. Back then, I did leave our daughter…”

When Raegan said this, Neil also fell into a long silence.

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2325

Did the event of that year count as deliberate abandonment?

Perhaps, it did.

Madeline wanted to leave after she sent Ava back to the apartment. However, she got a call from Jeremy, so she started talking on the phone with him. Unexpectedly, she saw Ava running out of the apartment while sobbing after a while. Madeline quickly hung up the call with Jeremy and ran to Ava after getting out of the car.

“Ava!”

Ava did not think that Madeline would still be here. However, when she heard Madeline’s voice at this moment, the grievances in her heart poured out immediately.

“Maddie!”

Ava quickly ran into Maddie’s arms and started crying.

“Ava, what happened? Why are you crying so badly?”

Madeline felt her heart tightening. “What happened? Is your mother not home? Or did she tell you an answer you didn’t want to hear?”

“They admitted that they weren’t at all concerned when they purposely left me on the streets back then!” Ava yelled as she bawled. “They deliberately abandoned me!”

Madeline was shocked when she heard Ava. At that moment, she did not know how to comfort Ava. If they did abandon her on purpose, then Ava would only get hurt a second time if she told her to go ask for the truth once more. Madeline held Ava close, feeling distressed. She did not say anything anymore.

The passersby did not understand why Ava was crying while hugging Madeline. They only thought that Ava must have broken up with her lover.

Madeline ignored the glances from the passersby. She only held Ava to try to give her warmth and assurance. After a long while, Ava finally stopped crying.

The night wind blew over and dried the tears on her face.

Ava sniffled, and suddenly, she acted as if nothing was wrong. She said calmly, “Maddie, can I spend the night at your house again?”

“Of course. Let’s go home.” Madeline quickly opened the door of the passenger seat for Ava.

Ava did not cry anymore. She got into the car silently and was quiet the entire journey.

Madeline brought Ava home, and Jeremy was already waiting in the living room. At first glance, he could tell that Ava’s complexion was not right. He wanted to ask, but when he saw the look in Madeline’s eyes, he obediently picked up his youngest son and stood at one side.

Madeline went to the room with Ava. Ava said she was tired and wanted to sleep after showering. Therefore, Madeline did not disturb her anymore. However, she told Ava that she could call out to her whenever she needed anything.

After Ava answered, Madeline went out.

After she closed the door, she saw Jeremy walking over to her with a worried look on his face. “Linnie, is she okay?”

Madeline shook her head. “Let’s talk in the room.”

Jeremy followed Madeline obediently and did not ask anymore. They went back to the room, but Madeline received a call from Raegan the moment she wanted to speak with Jeremy.

]]>

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2326

Madeline did not hesitate and quickly answered the call.

Raegan’s voice sounded softly with a hint of hoarseness, “Mrs. Whitman, sorry for disturbing you. I’m Ava’s mother.”

“I know, Ms. Xander. Do you have something to tell me?” Madeline asked politely, knowing that Raegan was probably calling her because of Ava.

Raegan sighed. “I saw you and Ava downstairs of the apartmentjust now. I didn’t dare to disturb her again, so I didn’t go over. I just want to ask if Ava‘s mood is much more stable now?”

“Ava seems calm now. She just took a shower and said she’s a little tired, so she wants to rest…” Madeline told the truth.

“That’s good.” Raegan seemed to be relieved. Then, she made a polite request. “Mrs. Whitman, if I may be so bold to ask for a favor, I hope you can find some time to meet me tomorrow. ”

Madeline heard the helplessness and powerlessness in Raegan’s words. To resolve the matter that had been gnawing on Ava’ s mind and prevent her from suffering, Madeline readily agreed to meet with Raegan.

After hanging up the phone, Jeremy quickly moved to Madeline’s side.

“Linnie, was that Ava’s mother? What happened? I heard that Ava seems to have reconciled with her biological mother, so why did they start quarreling again?”

Madeline could not help but sigh, “Ava’s dad is back too.”

“Ava’s dad?”

“Yeah.” Madeline nodded. “He’s a very authoritative neurologist.”

“One is the richest woman in a country, and the other is an expert. Ava’s parents are really something else,” Jeremy praised.

“Yeah, Ava’s parents are very capable. I think they feel guilty about abandoning Ava back then and want to make amends, so I persuaded Ava to give her parents a chance to explain why they left Ava back then. In my opinion, there are no parents in the world who would be willing to abandon their children no matter what.”

When she said this, Madeline‘s gaze softened. Her eyes then fell on the little boy in Jeremy’s arms before she spoke again.

“Ava listened to my suggestion and went to her parents to ask about the situation back then, but Ava came to me crying and told me that she found out her parents had abandoned her on their own initiative.”

“Abandoned her on their own initiative? It doesn‘t seem reasonable.” Jeremy frowned, feeling suspicious and puzzled.

“How could a person who became the richest woman in a country be able to do something like abandoning her child?”

“Maybe there’s something else to this matter.”

Madeline also felt that Jeremy had a point. “She asked me to meet her tomorrow. I thinkI should be able to find out the truth when the time comes.”

“Do you want me to accompany you?” Jeremy wished he could stay by Madeline’s side all the time.

“You have to go to work so that we’ll have money for our son’s milk.” Madeline smiled and patted Jeremy’s handsome face. “Alright, I’m going to take a shower now. You should coax our son to sleep tonight.”

After Madeline said that, she turned around. Jeremey looked at her, reluctant to part with her. Madeline quickly sensed it and turned back around to plant a kiss on the corner of Jeremy’s lips after standing on her tiptoes. Then, the man went to coax their son to sleep while feeling satisfied.

The night passed. When Madeline woke up, she realized that Ava had gotten up even earlier than her.

It was a nice day today, and the sun was shining brightly. At this moment, Ava was in the courtyard, holding Pudding’s hand and talking to Karen about something.

Since Madeline had an appointment with Raegan, she figured she would find an excuse to go out later. Madeline ate some breakfast, and when she was about to get up, Ava walked over with Pudding.

]]>

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2327

Ava looked like her mental health was doing much better. She greeted Madeline with a smile, “Maddie, you’re up. Pudding is so cute. I used to want to have a daughter when I got married, but I think having a son isn’t that bad either.”

Madeline smiled when she heard that. “Then give birth to twins so that you can have a boy and a girl at the same time. However, just don’t complain about how hard it is to raise children when that happens.”

“It’ll be hard work, but the hard work is worth it since children are so cute.”

Ava smiled and teased the little boy in her arms. The smile on Ava’s face became much brighter when she saw the little boy chuckling.

Madeline also felt very warm watching this scene. “That’s right You’ll feel joy every time you look at the baby who came out of you. As long as the child is well, we, as parents, will feel that the tiredness and hard work are all worth it.”

After Madeline said that, the smile on Ava’s face changed slightly. She was still smiling, but her smile looked a little sarcastic.

“But not all parents think so,” Ava said.

Madeline paused for a while, then realized that she should not have said this so casually. She had brought up a sensitive topic, and it upset Ava again. Madeline blamed herself silently and wanted to say something else to comfort Ava, but Ava suddenly raised a very unrestrained smile.

“Maddie, it’s almost time for me to go to work. But I still want to stay here tonight. Can I?”

“Why are you being so polite with me? My home is your home. You can come and go freely. No one will restrict you.”

Madeline got up and took Pudding from Ava.

“I’m about to go to Whitman Corporation too. Let me drive you.”

“Okay,” Ava replied with a smile. She seemed to be in a good mood.

However, Madeline was worried that Ava was just holding on despite her pain. After all, it was not that easy to move on from the fact that her parents had voluntarily abandoned her.

When Madeline was sending Ava to work, she would pay attention to Ava’s expression from time to time. She knew very well that Ava was just pretending to be happy. Plus, Daniel was in such a situation now, so it was really difficult for Ava to feel happy.

After sending Ava to the lobby of her company, Madeline did not get out of the car. When she saw Ava enter the door, she called Raegan to confirm that Raegan was already on the way to the place where they had agreed to meet. Then, Madeline drove over immediately.

About ten minutes later, Madeline arrived at a cafe.

It was working hours, so there were not many people in the cafe. Madeline and Raegan were sitting in a corner. The first thing Raegan said was to ask Madeline about Ava’s mood. After knowing that Ava had gone back to work, Raegan did not know whether to feel relieved or more worried. Looking at the worried and sad expression on Raegan’s face, Madeline was even more sure that Ava might have misunderstood the so-called ‘abandonment’ back then.

If Raegan had really deliberately abandoned Ava at that time, it would be impossible for Raegan to show such an expression now.

“Ms. Xander, I don’t think you voluntarily abandoned Ava back then like how Ava described it. Can you tell me what happened back then?”

]]>

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2328

Indeed, Raegan asked Madeline out to talk about this. She knew that it would be hard for her to talk to Ava now, so maybe it would be better to do things through Madeline. However, recalling the scene at that time, Raegan still had an indescribable sense of guilt in her heart.

Madeline saw the torment and regret in Raegan’s eyes. After thinking for a moment, she parted her lips and asked, “Last night, Ava told me while crying that you admitted that you deliberately abandoned her back then. But I’ve always felt that it’s not the case…”

Upon hearing this, Raegan sighed in remorse before she started speaking, “Ava is right. It’s true that I deliberately left her alone on the streets. I was even standing in the corner, watching how helpless she was. I just left without turning back.”

Madeline was surprised by Raegan’s answer.

Was it really intentional?

Madeline’s heart ached for Ava. No wonder Ava was so sad and disdainful. Which child could accept being abandoned by their biological parents like this?

No one could accept it.

“Why did you do it at the time?” Madeline felt indignant for Ava, so her tone was slightly aggressive.

“It was our decision as mothers to give birth to a child. How could you abandon her just because you wanted to?”

“Mrs. Whitman, you’re right. You’re also a mother, so I think you can understand my feelings the best,” Raegan lamented.

Madeline was a little confused, but she did not agree with Raegan’s statement.

“I think it’s hard for me to understand.”

Raegan knew that Madeline was a little angry at the moment, and she completely understood. Suddenly, she smiled, feeling slightly relieved.

“If leaving the child is the best arrangement for them, will you do that?”

Raegan suddenly asked such a question, and the unease in Madeline’s heart dissipated. She looked at Raegan and suddenly seemed to understand how Raegan felt when she had to ‘abandon’ Ava.

“If I could do it all over again, no matter how difficult the situation was, I wouldn’t have left Ava to fend for herself. But I know that if I could really do it all over again, the result would still be the same. It’s because I have no way to defeat the disease that’s pestering me.”

Madeline fell silent again. She listened to Raegan‘s explanation, and without her realizing it, the hot latte on the table gradually became cold. However, her heart was warmed by what Raegan was saying at this moment. Madeline even felt tears in the corners of her eyes. She had the urge to cry.

‘Ava, your mother actually loves you very much. She really loves you.’

After hearing all the facts, Madeline understood Raegan a lot more.

“Why didn’t you tell Ava the truth? I believe she’ll be able to understand you, just like howl do. She’ll even feel distressed for you.”

“How can I say that? No matter what, I did abandon her.”

“It wasn’t of your own volition.”

“That’ll only become an excuse for me to leave Ava behind back then.” Raegan blamed herself. “Plus, Ava’s father didn’t handle this well back then.”

Madeline nodded to show that she understood. “I’ll tell Ava about this.”

“You don’t have to deliberately mention this to Ava, Mrs. Whitman. I hope after you understand what I had to go through, you can take good care of Ava for me. Now that this has happened to Daniel, she doesn’t have the person she wants to rely on the most, is the closest to, and loves the most by her side. I’m worried that she’ll get anxious and do something stupid.”

“Don’t worry about this, Ms. Xander. Ava is my best friend. No matter what happens, I’ll stay by her side and take care of her. I’ll comfort her, and I’ll let her rely on me. She’ll never fight this battle alone.”

Madeline promised solemnly.

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2329

Raegan immediately felt much more at ease, and she was very grateful to Madeline for her love for Ava.

In the company, Ava wanted to concentrate on her design but was a little distracted.

After seeing that Ava was feeling so down, Maisie decided to buy Ava a cup of milk tea. Whenever a girl was unhappy, drinking some milk tea would immediately change her mood. This was a kind of metaphysics. Maisie thought to herself and was about to order delivery, but as soon as she turned on her phone, there were suddenly two cups of milk tea on her desk.

She looked back in astonishment and saw Tom raising the corners of his lips into a faint smile.

“This is your afternoon tea. Go share it with your colleagues.”

Maisie opened her mouth and hesitated. There were just two cups, so how could she share them with her colleagues?

They were clearly for her and Ava, right?

As if he could read Maisie’s mind, Tom pointed to the door of the office. “The rest of the delivery is on the way. You can drink these first.”

Tom said before he glanced at Ava lightly. Then, he gave a vague reminder to Maisie. “Remember to share it with your colleagues.” After saying this, Tom went back to his office.

Maisie looked at the milk tea in front of her. When she opened the bag that came with it, she found that there were two pieces of tiramisu. They were made by a professional chef. He was clearly playing favorites.

Maisie hurriedly took out the milk tea and tiramisu before taking them to Ava. “Ava, have a cup of milk tea and some cake. You should rest first and continue later.”

After hearing Maisie’s voice, Ava came back to her senses. “Maisie, are you talking to me?”

Maisie could not help frowning when she looked at Ava, “Ava, look at you. You look so inattentive. Do you know you’ll make people who care about you very worried by being like this? ”

Ava could feel Maisie’s kindness, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face. “My heart is already warmed before drinking the milk tea because I have a good friend like you who cares about me so much.”

“Then drink this cup of milk tea now to warm your heart even more.” Maisie helped Ava open the milk tea.

“Ava, don’t think about so many unhappy things. I believe all troubles are only temporary.”

While listening to Maisie’s words of encouragement, the anxiety and uneasiness in Ava’s heart dissipated a lot. After all, there were still so many people who cared about her.

Ava smiled and nodded. “Yeah, you’re right. Troubles won’t stay forever, but happiness will.”

“Yeah.” Maisie was happy that Ava was thinking that way.

After Ava drank the milk tea and ate the cake, she felt much better. She was much more focused when she was drawing her design. Indeed, it was useless for her to worry about everything that was happening to her lately.

It was almost time to get off work, and Ava was very happy that she managed to finish her work today. She said goodbye to Maisie and was about to call a cab to go back to Madeline’s place. Then, coincidentally, she saw Tom stopping his car in front of her.

“Let me drive you.” Tom smiled and offered.

Ava was curious. “Are you also going where I’m going this time, Mr. Lowe?”

“I can drive you even if I’m not,” Tom said and got out of the car to open the door of the front passenger seat for Ava in a gentlemanly manner.

Ava looked at the opened door and remembered Tom greeting Neil the last time. They knew each other. When she thought about this, Ava hesitated for two seconds before getting into Tom’s car.

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2330

She initially had something she wanted to ask him, but now that she was sitting in his car, Ava did not know how to start the conversation. She looked at the cars coming and going outside the car window. A burst of desolation suddenly surged in her heart.

“If I guessed correctly, you agreed to get in my car because you want to ask me something, right?”

Suddenly, Torn broke the silence in the car.

Ava came back to her senses and looked at the man who was driving.

Tom looked sideways with a faint smile. He looked very gentlemanly and warm.

Ava nodded without denying it. “Yes, I do want to ask you about something.”

“Is it about Dr. Long?” Tom asked very directly.

There was a hint of surprise in Ava’s eyes. It was as if she was surprised that Tom had read her mind.

“It was just a guess.”

Tom opened his mouth to say that before continuing. “I ran into Dr. Long when I drove you to the apartment near the company. At that time, I thought you looked a lot like him, and both of you have the same surname too. I just wondered if you were father and daughter. I didn’t expect it to be the case.”

Ava involuntarily fell into silence when she heard what Tom said. ‘I guess I look like him, huh?’

Ava finally came back to her senses after staying silent for a very long time.

“How did you meet him?”

“Him? Do you mean Dr. Long?”

“Yeah,” Ava replied softly. She still could not get herself to get used to the word ‘dad’.

Tom did not delve into what was on Ava’s mind. He only answered naturally, “Two years ago, my dad always had headaches and was in a lot of pain. Sometimes, he would faint because of how serious it was. I contacted a lot of my connections, and in the end, I found Dr. Long. He was very busy, but he’s a very authoritative figure in this field. He treated my dad for his stubborn headaches. Dr. Long is an expert in this field. He can treat almost all challenging illnesses easily. I also became friends with him after meeting him. ”

After hearing what Tom said, Ava fell silent again.

It seemed that Neil was busy but still made time to help Daniel despite never having the chance to examine Daniel yet. Ava was touched when she thought about this.

“I heard from Maisie that your boyfriend has short-term amnesia after getting into a car accident. If your father is already treating him, I think he should be fine soon.”

“Mr. Lowe, I humbly accept your blessings.” Ava smiled, but she had mixed feelings in her heart.

“You don’t have to be so formal with me.” Tom looked at Ava from the corners of his eyes. “You’re good friends with my sister, so I think we can be friends too. You don’t have to call me ‘Mr. Lowe’ outside of the office. You can just call me by my name.”

Tom was magnanimous, but for some reason, Ava was not used to that. It was not a problem to be friends with the boss of her company, but she would feel awkward calling him by his name.

Tom seemed to sense Ava’ s awkwardness, so he smiled gentlemanly. “It’s fine. You can slowly get used to it. You’ll get used to something if you keep doing it. Not everyone can sit at the same table and have a meal with someone they just met.”

Ava seemed to relax a lot after she heard Tom saying that.

“Thank you, Mr. Lowe,” Ava thanked him.

Tom smiled and did not pressure Ava.

“Right, what else do you want to ask me after getting into my car? I met Dr. Long a few days ago and we chatted for a while. I could tell that he had something heavy in his heart, and it seems to be related to you.”

There was a hint of curiosity and doubt in Tom’s words.
